All of these stories involve holding coins for long amounts of time. I ask if any of us have this patience
Yes i do agree i don't have patience to wait this long . Really appreciate people who had that patience and keep this long and became millionaire . may be this story inspiration for lots of people .
You can do it if you do not check it all the time. Buy some cheap altcoins, store it in a safe wallet and check the price only once a year. You will not be tempted to dump it and if it gets successful, you have a good profit in the end of the year.
